UK Tilers World – Searches Down!

Posted by Tiling News Dan on 7 September, 2009 in Business Support, Floor Tiling, Forum Sponsors, General Info, Product Reviews, Related Products, Related Services, Tile Grout, Tilers Forums, Tiling Tools, Tutorials & How-To, Wall Tiling

Statistics counting visitors, hits and those searching for terms such as “Tiler World” and the likes have decreased month-by-month since February 2009 every single month.

This shows that those searching for such terms are searching much much less. In fact the February searches are more than 40% down compared to the initial month in February when our website www.uktilersworld.co.uk first went live.

On the first page of Google 50% of the 10 links are websites of ours and collating all stats on all the websites gives an even worse outcome for the term ‘TilerWorld’ and all terms similar.

If this continues it would suggest that people are searching a lot less for the website than they used to be when it was first launched. And we’re hearing all the time about tilers not getting work through such websites which can only be a result of the current climate and leading websites in the advice field increasing in traffic suggests that more and more people are looking for information regarding DIY tiling, and less are looking for professional wall and floor tilers.

Do you have your Tiling NVQ now?

Posted by Tiling News Dan on 1 September, 2009 in Business Support, Floor Tiling, Forum Sponsors, General Info, Product Reviews, Related Products, Related Services, Service Reviews, Tile Adhesive, Tile Grout, Tile Industry News, Tilers Forums, Tiling Tools, Tiling Training, Tutorials & How-To, Wall Tiling

There’s a poll on TilersForums.co.uk “Do you have your Tiling NVQ Now?” as it is near 2010 which is when the Government said only those with a Tiling NVQ can work on-site. And there has been discussion even saying domestic jobs are classed as a ‘site’.

Please feel free to pop over to the forum and contribute to the Poll as it’ll help give us a bit of an understanding as to what sort of percentages now have a Tiling NVQ.

Thanks
